Is A 73 Value Of (SGPT) ALT Considered Dangerous?

Is a 73 Value of (SGPT) ALT considered dangerous?


My ((SGPT) is 81 it seems to keep raising. I'm going to pain center for 2 neck surgeries and given med's every time I turn around. I already have a fatty liver. Last spring I quit all mets and valves went down to normal. However, the pain forced me to begin taking med's again. My kidneys and my liver valves continued to grow...I don't know who do believe.

hi,
Usually ALT is elevated whenever there is some amount of hepatocytes damage,there are lot of conditions like hepatitis B ,C and even fatty liver can cause AST and ALT elevation,initially you can consider for avoiding fatty food and regular physical activity that will help you in normalizing the enzymes .
But you can repeat the AST and ALT after 3 months still there is elevation or no change then we need to work up thoroughly for the same ,At that time you can consult a gastroenterologist for further screening
Hope this information help you
